I really appreciate you and Patrick not sugarcoating this.Your advice about Habitat for Humanity is brilliant - it aligns perfectly with my long-term vision of building affordable, holistic communities.

And remember how blessed you are when thinking about those less fortunate: help and share.My Christmas gift to humanity was giving my 300th lifetime blood donation on Dec. 17, 2025.All the best,Mike

I also appreciate your point about this not being a “more software” problem, but a human systems problem.For the accountability or sequencing, is it more frequently occurring with smaller businesses or larger businesses or is it a problem across the board? 

I’m intentionally pressure-testing the structure before committing further.The deal involves a 31×110 infill lot (~3,400 sq ft)zoned to allow a duplex by right, with an overlay that may support an accessory dwelling unit (ADU).

i cannot overemphasize the value of actual local humans over "training" and courses.

Over the last four years, there have been many "contemporary" dwellings built, not because the builder thought they would rent better, but because they were CHEAPER. 

The ROI is usually so good that you can generate significant equity in the process, yet old investors usually just limp along and only repair what's needed.It's an interesting example of Human behavior.

But, laws in the United States are sort of written in English, so, in English, "1 family dwelling" means that one family may live there.

I still go back through to "humanize" it prior to upload but that is it.Nothing I hate more than messaging/calling a company & getting some robot type response so I don't ever see me using AI for guest interaction/response.
